Protesters at ICE facility in Aurora pull down American flag and raise Mexican flag
They proceeded to spray paint "Abolish ICE" on an American flag and put it back up again, upside down. It seems to have been one of the "Blue Lives Matter" flags, or maybe a modified American flag with the red stripes and blue field replaced with black (similar to a protest version of the Puerto Rican flag). The image is not clear enough to tell from.
Counter-productive to the max. Way to validate the fears of your opponents.
I mean, I am certainly no Trumpy, I'm horrified the treatment the asylum seeking immigrants have faced, by the family separations, by Trump's attitude, the deaths of children in detention, the encouragement of brutality by ICE.
But could this particular group of protesters have been any dumber?

Protesters upset with the federal immigration roundups that may occur this weekend in Denver gathered Friday night at the ICE facility in Aurora. The majority of protesters on site were doing so in a peaceful and law-abiding manner. Another group stormed the barriers near the building and pulled down an American flag off the flag pole in front of the facility and replaced it with a Mexican flag. |
